Well done finding Harry senior and Arthur in 1911, safc.
I had hunted for ages on Ancestry without success.
No wonder - the Ancestry transcription has Harry and Arthur as Brammage, not Memory, though it's clearly Memory in the image.

Harry junior in 1911 already posted.

Well, so the Arthur who died in 1902 isn't Charlotte & Harry's son.

Does the marriage certificate say she was a widow? Who were the witnesses?

Rose

Mary Ann Brammage / Brummage, with whom Harry and son Arthur are staying in 1911, was Charlotte's sister. (See 1881 census posted on page 2.).

----------------------------------

Not sure about that 1906 death- the age fits correctly with another Frederick Bentley in the same area.

Wondered about this death- possibly not long after the 1901 census. (Although, again- there is a Frederick Bentley of similar age in the Everton area which could fit)

I won't be around for a few days, but I wondered what the address was for Charlotte on the Burke marriage certificate- and as Rose asked, who were the witnesses?

Oh, BENLLEY!

Thanks, AQ.

1880,South Shields Gazette
2 Feb,

Sudden Death A child named Charlotte Venus Forester aged 4 months whoese parents reside in Market Place S/Shields died suddenly yesterday..


There is a Charlotte Venus born 1879 - but not in Leicester.

Births Dec 1879 (>99%)
Forster Charlotte Venus S. Shields 10a 672.

Not the 1879 birth.
I posted about her on page 1.
She married William Robert Berry in 1906, and died in 1932 in South Shields

EDIT:

On second thoughts, this other Charlotte may be the one who married William Berry:

Charlotte Venus Forster
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Birth Index, 1837-1915
Name: Charlotte Venus Forster
Registration Year: 1881
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration district: South Shields
Inferred County: Durham
Volume: 10a
Page: 731


Both of those children had mms Venus, so presumably the first one was the one who died, and the second one married William Berry.


Parents:

Marriages Dec 1873 (>99%)
FORSTER Robert S Shields 10a 1175
Venus Mary Miller S.Shields 10a 1175
